What do you think? I think you're an idiot. (Dustin Henderson x Reader)

4: Who you gonna call? The nerds!

Y/n's pov

The bell rang, signaling we had to go inside.

Oh dear lord.

As the guys and I walked into the school, we heard people snickering and laughing at us.

"When do people make these decisions?" Dustin asked me, grabbing onto my sleeve and whispering, "Wait up!"

"Everyone dressed up last year." I whispered back with a shrug.

I saw Max walk past and stare at the five of us.

She looked kind of sympathetic because of all the ridicule we were receiving, but also kind of weirded out.

"Great. She's never gonna join now." Lucas said.

Although Mike didn't know it, Dustin, Lucas and I had been trying to get her into the party.

We all thought she was pretty cool, and personally I thought we needed another girl.

Lucas had also taken an immediate liking to the girl, which I thought was cute. Slightly creepy, but cute.

"Why don't we just do it now?" Dustin asked.

"Now? We look like morons!" Lucas said.

"Well unless either of you brought regular clothes, we gotta do it now." I said.

We watched as Max closed her locker and walked off.

"...After class?" Dustin asked.

"Yep." Lucas and I agreed.

Later, Lucas, Dustin and I went up to Max.

"Um... hi, Max. I'm Dustin, and this is Lucas and Y/n." Dustin introduced us.

"Yeah, I know. The stalkers." Max snickered.

"Um, NO, actually. We were just-" I started.

"We weren't stalking you." Lucas clarified.

"No, we were just, uh, concerned. Because, y'know, you're new and all." Dustin explained.

"Yeah, for your safety. There are a lot of bullies here." I said, frowning and looking down at the last part, and Max slightly looked sad before she smiled.

"Is that why those two are wearing proton packs?" Max asked, making her and I both snicker.

"Well, these don't function, but Dustin does have this handy dandy little trap here, and look, it even opens and closes! Look!" Lucas demonstrated, holding up Dustin's trap.

He chuckled but immediately stopped when he noticed Max looking rather unimpressed.

"No? Okay, but... uh, we were talking last night, and you're new here, and you probably don't have any friends to take you trick or treating, and you're scared of bullies, so we were thinking that it would be okay if you came with us." Lucas explained.

"It'd be okay?" Max asked.

I elbowed Lucas in the ribs.

"What he meant was, that we WANT you to come with us. And you're really cool." I said, side glaring at Lucas.

Max slightly smiled at me.

"Yeah, the majority of our party voted you in." Dustin said, and I lifted my arms into the air in frustration.

"Wow I didn't realize it was such an honour to go trick or treating with you." Max said, sarcastically.

"We know where the full sized candy bars are. Figured you'd want in." Dustin smiled.

"That was presumptuous of you." Max said, making me almost burst out laughing at the boy's total confusion, Max looking like she could laugh too.

"Yeah, totally, so can you come?" Dustin asked, taking presumptuous as a compliment.

Max sighed and walked off.

"We meet at Maple Street at 7:00!" I said after her.

I had a feeling she would come.

"Is presumptuous bad?" Dustin asked me.

I giggled and walked off with Lucas.

"Is it bad?! Is it?!? Son of a bitch. Is it bad?!?" Dustin called after me, jogging to catch up with Lucas and I.
